Excellent game for casual play.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This isn't a game for those looking for an end goal. This is more of a "go at your own pace" kind of game that lets you explore, and eventually build and customize your own little island. Your storage inventory can be a bit cramped without constantly upgrading your house space, so keep that in mind as you have to save up a considerable amount of bells to afford said upgrades. The game gives you lots of opportunities to earn the bells though. Usually through fishing, bug catching, or even turnip trading if you're clever and patient. The game works off of real-time and even has seasons depending on hemisphere (northern or southern). The game could be in winter in the middle of July if you went with southern, but most will go with northern as it better matches North American climates. The animals in the game are quite helpful at times, so be sure to check up on them often, and remember important events such as their birthdays. Just remember to play often. You don't have to play every day, but it is recommended to pop in often to see how the villagers are doing, and to do the daily tasks such as fossil digging, harvesting crafting materials, and checking what the stores have for sale. If you're a fan of any of the previous Animal Crossings, then you'll definitely want this one if you have a Switch!

Animal Crossing is for ALL AGES!
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.Animal Crossing is the greatest game franchise ever. I have played this almost every day since purchase. Island living consists of catching bugs, fishing, collecting fossils, building and decorating your house, planning the island, talking to villagers…did I mention creating and decorating? Animal Crossing communities on Instagram, Twitter, Reddit, Discord, and Facebook are places players can get inspiration and maybe make friends with other players. This game is calming and relieves anxiety. The recently released DLC is a great addition to the game and worth the extra money.

First Time Animal Crossing Player Here
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.I’ve never played any of the Animal Crossing games before and a lot of people I knew were getting this game. I decided to get it as well. Best decision I made. (Even got my best friend addicted to it.) It’s a great game to play alone or even with friends. Learning the game was super easy. There is so much to do in the game and you can take your time doing it all. I’ve even heard there will be special events or something similar to that in the future. There’s even specific items that are seasonal items too. I do recommend this game (and I have to several of my friends as well.)

Wonderful game and a great escape!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.A week after receiving the game upon release I’ve been hooked and haven’t put the game down! It is a breath of fresh air despite what is going on in the world today, a great way to relax and keep calm in a world where you can’t get hurt! (Except by those wasps and bees!) Animal Crossing is a fantastic series of games, and this one hits the mark as the others have before it! If you need a relaxing and fun game to play, pick this one up and I’m sure that you’ll have a fantastic time!

Q: QuestionIs this compatible with Nintendo switch lite? I’m about to purchase a Nintendo switch lite for the first time and thought about getting Animal Crossing but don’t want to waste my money if it doesn’t work. Help please!!
Asked by Britt.
- A:Answer Yes, Animal Crossing along with all Nintendo Switch games are compatible with the Switch Lite. The only thing to note is that the Switch Lite can only be played handheld and not docked (tv/monitor).

Q: QuestionWhat is the difference between getting a physical and digital version of this game? I am planning to get a switch lite and this game, but the physical version is sold out, what does it mean by digital?
Asked by IWantAnimalCrossing.
- A:Answer A digital version will require an internet connection so it can be downloaded onto your Switch the first time you play. It's linked to your Nintendo account so if you loose/break your Switch you can always re-download it later. There is no physical case/game when buying digitally and if you get tired of the game it's impossible to sell a digital copy. I hope that helps!
Answered by Darkrocker

Q: QuestionI was about to preorder a copy of this game but I saw the Tom Nook tech badge was missing. What happened to it? Is it no longer available because of the bell bag? Or will it still be there if I just go ahead and preorder it?
Asked by AnimalCrossingYay.
- A:Answer The Tom Nook Phone $ Tech badge is no longer offered. Chatted with a online rep to figure out why it wasn't showing up in my cart and was later told it's no longer offered.
